Scanner~SCSI Problem

Hello:
I just installed an Adaptec 2906 SCSI Card in this XP (2002 version) computer but Microtek E3 Plus Scanner doesn't work.
I installed 2906 driver from disk that came with it. New hardware wizard tells me it is working.Device Manager recognizes it as Adaptec AIC-7850 PCI SCSI Controller.
I downloaded V2.60 software for scanner from Microtek website. to C: \ 2.60 application. (it is a zip file) unsure it opened right. Scanner Test tells me scanner Not connected, but i checked cable 3 times, re-booted> Scanner must be on before computer boots up. tried that 3 times

Arie; you said "disk 1" and search for setup.exe there.
Iopened Disk 1, found Setup, it started Microtek Scan Wizard,it stopped 3/4 of the way through ans i get a message "error extracting support files' access is denied.
i closed that and another dialog box shows up "do you want to completely remove the selected appplication and all of its components? "

Arie:
On Microtek page, ther was achoice of EPP or SCSI, i chose SCSO.During installation it asked again SCSI or EPP. This is somewhat confusing, as Scanner is connected to a Parallel port/socket..
They do not say if Scanner shoud be connected or not during installation??!!

MIR11,
Just wondering why the scanner is hooked up to the Parallel port and not the SCSI Card. All the scanners I had that were SCSI ran of the SCSI card.

 

To Arie:
Thanks.
Surely someout out there using XP has installed an SCSI card!!

To Russ:
I noticed your post after i read Arie's reply and after i made other post
It is connected to the new Adeptec SCSI card i just installed,i used the word Parallel to distinguish from USB or Serial, etc.
My wife got a new scanner that has USB, it is "plug and Play" no fuss or nonsense like i am having.

Hello:
After unsuccesfully trying to get Scanner working, i now get this message at Start-up 'Windows canot find 'D:\CDSETUP.EXE',Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.To search for a file,Click Start,then click Search
*****Question****** how can i get rid of this message ..??

Pete:
Did you find anything on Microtek Website that i may not have found???

The installer is trying to find that file. If D:\ is your CD/DVD drive, it is looking for a CD with that file on it. If it is a download and not on CD you will need to direct it to where the downloaded files are.

If it on your HDD you can use the search function (Start -> Search -> Files and Folders).

See Post 2 & 3 disk 1 Setup.exe it quits 3/4 through
